Clumsy Big • German Balloons Are
Diffieult to Handle. -
Ever since the ,commencement of
the War, :the possibility 01 10 Zeppe-
lin raid on Great Britain atts caused
a great 'deal of :discussion, for the
Germans have taken good eare to
spread es nruch as possible dread
of such an ,attack.
• In aeronautical eircleg, however,
little alarm is felt, ifor those who
know the real 'capabilitieo. of the
Zeppelin airships aro aware that
the German -inspired scare isabout
as empty as the gas-filled aircraft
itself.
Take, for instance, the ,much -
vaunted antomatie pins which are
said to be 'carried on a :specially
built platform situated on the sau-
sage-shaped envelope of the Zeppe-
lin,. It is extremely doubtful whe-
ther aesinge one of the Kaiser's Air-
ships is armed in this fashion, for
Count Zeppelin was -taught a. dras-
tic lesson in this connection at the
etal of last year.
On .a now Zepaelin airship a tun-
nel -was eonstructed through the
gas envelope. which enabled the
maw to pass between the passenger
gondolas and a gun platform on the
top of the machine.
The :malt climb•ed to a height et
thousana feet with a full comple-
ment of erew, aria a number crawl-
ed up the :heckler in th:e communi-
cation tunnel and primed the gun
situated above the envelope.
The signal wits given and the
weapon fired, and this proved to be
the last ection of the unfortunate
gun crew. The Zeppelin disap-
peared in a, sheet of flame, :end
twisted masa of aluminum arra fab-
ric crashed te earth carrying, over
thirta men to their dome.
A Zeppelin Wale manoeuvring
neer Berlin, with the email crowd
of admiring spectators looking tan,
and no doubt inspired by the larrge
,audienee, the creel brought their
mutat-Le close to the pound and
began to slam bhe tree tops.
The day was gusty and a number
of fierce air ,currents took posses-
sion of the airship and forced it
out of eontro:l,
lb crashed on to a, wooded. slope,
around wilach the lengthy aarshma
enveloped and eueled itself in a
disastrous' embrace.
The task et landing and- sendan,g
off :a. Zeppelin is 40 nerve-racking
undertaking. Various eomplicatea
aeviees, such as supporting trucks
running on rails, are required to
launch the machines into space, and
even then. a troublesome 'wind is
likely. te wreck the whole appara-
tus.
